Chapter 249 Hendrix grasped her meaning immediately .
What youre saying is you want me to be the one without the official acknowledgment , right ? Something like that .
After all , were still business partners , and it wouldnt be appropriate for us to be overly showy with our relationship .
How would others see you ? So , I think its best- Before she could finish , Hendrix suddenly strode forward and punched the wall right beside her .
The sudden movement startled Noelle , cutting off whatever shed been about to say .
Noelle , are you kidding me ? Who the hell do you take me for ? In your eyes , am I really that pathetic and lacking in dignity ? Hendrix found the whole thing utterly absurd .
Who would have thought that he would one day be asked to become a lover hidden in the shadows , someone who couldnt even be acknowledged publicly ? Why should he let her reduce him to that ? And more than that , how could she reduce herself to this ? Hendrix clenched his teeth tightly , and the veins on his forearm and temple were bulging and pulsing visibly with restrained fury .
He leaned down , his gaze locking onto Noelle .
At that moment , he had an inexplicable urge to bite her .
Her lips , her neck , or even her shoulder it didnt matter .
His jaw ached with the tension , every nerve in his body urging him to do it .
Only then could Noelle truly understand what it felt like to hurt .
But in that moment , Noelles calm gaze was like a blade , piercing straight into Hendrixs chest .
As he leaned closer , she didnt flinch or retreat .
Even her tone was calm as ever when she said , Alright .
Forget it , then .
Forget it ? Those two simple words instantly made Hendrix pause .
he finally asked , his voice strained .
Why what ? Why are you doing this ? We could have- Because youre not worth breaking my agreement with Dylan , Noelle interrupted .
Hes helped me a lot , and this is the only way I can repay him .
I wont let him down no matter what .
So , youre choosing to let me down instead ? Havent I done enough for you ? The Continental Reach project- The project ? Noelle cut him off directly .
Wasnt that part of the deal you agreed to ? We settled this already , and now , youre bringing it up again ? Hendrix , since when did you become so petty ? Hendrix couldnt find a response .
Noelle pushed him away .
If you cant agree , then theres nothing left to talk about between us .
Please leave .
She didnt have much strength , but somehow , Hendrix stumbled back several steps under her push .
It took him a moment to steady himself , and when he did , he slowly looked back at her .
Noelle had already walked to the door and opened it , her intent to send him away unmistakably clear .
Hendrix didnt linger and headed straight for the door .
But as he passed by Noelle , he couldnt help but stop and glance back at her .

At that moment , he desperately hoped she would say something .
If she softened , even just a little , or said a few 1/2 kind words to coax him , he might have agreed .
But she didnt .
Hendrix remembered back when they were together , she had never gone out of her way to cheer him up .
And now , she was treating him like a dog , trampling on whatever dignity he had left .
Without another glance , Hendrix turned and walked out .
The moment his foot crossed the threshold , Noelle shut the door behind him with a bang .
The sound was crisp and final .
